... That's my only disagreement with your post: This is NOT the League UIC's job. The League Safety Officer is responsible for getting the managers, coaches,...
I agreed that this "automatic ejection" policy is excessive, but it's not overstepping our bounds to ensure that the rules of the game are observed, even if...
Please don't get me wrong guys. If I see a safety problem, I deal with it in real time, no matter what hat I'm wearing. It's just that I don't have ejection...
Wisconsin District 4 went 3-for-3 in Regional/WS applications this season and I thought I'd recognize the district as a whole as it has been very successful in...
I agree. Although I have to say... I keep waiting for some coach to completely ignore me pre-game so I can eject him at the plate just as soon as he hands me...
As usual, Rich sends an incomplete and inaccurate report. What is lacking in the horn-tooting for WI-4 is that Rich has been selected to umpire the Senior...
I had the privilege to work beside Jeremy at the CR in 2005. Awesome umpire, incredibly nice person. I didnąt know he also had done the JLWS. Iąm guessing...
The "umpire god-complex" as you referred to is absolutely incorrect. This ruling is mandated by the local league Presidents! Now ... your apology sir? After...

Hey there Manny! Your post is well thought out....... and I agree with most of it! It is just that sometimes, someone, in this districts case, the league...
I was convinced that I wasn't invited when everyone got their letters last week. Of course, my DA has this habit of getting the Region to NOT send a letter to...
Actually, this is not at all true. I ran into this precise situation during tournament last year in which I had to eject a manager for unsportsmanlike conduct...
Kevin, Thanks for that reply. And, I am sorry to hear that your league too suffered a serious injury due to a safety violation. Barry Silverman CA D62...
Thanks, Barry. It actually wasn't my league per se - it was another league in my district, but that doesn't make it any less tragic. Coach was hitting infield...
Kevin, This is a great story....... other than the injury to the player.......... that officials of the game, umpires, members of the board, etc need to ...
Welcome Karie. Though I don't post much here, I can tell you that a lot of good discussions on a variety of topics show up here. I know I have learn a lot...
Welcome Karie I think you should look in photo section on the groups home page ( someone posted a nice picture of you from your week long at WR ) . Check it...
Karie, Welcome aboard. Based on what I saw at the school last month, you should continue to do very well. Have a great season! Bruce Taylor WRLL Instructor...
A couple of points: First safety is the responsibility of every member of the league both adults and children. Failure to act as an adult concerned about ...
Me three - I noticed that in the 2007 NFHS rulebook/baseball guide they are requiring plate umpires to wear a mask "with proper throat protection" - "The...
My name is Guy Marcy, I am from Oroville, CA, District 47. I have Umpired for the past 3 years for the local leagues. I attended the first week of the umpire...
Welcome Guy Marcy! Don't know why your showers were cold. Maybe your group did not donate enough to the WRLLUUA. Second week had warm/hot showers, and...
... I'm guessing an ejected coach could argue that the umpire had no jurisdiction to eject. Which, at the time, he doesn't. And you're correct, it's just...
Well.............. I have received an e-mail today that indicates that Williamsport's Andy Konyar reiterated that Safety insures are to be addressed before the...
